...or their equipment is jacked up. 

That dude in the Expedition in front of me was belching wicked black
 sooty
smoke. It smelled alternately oily, then correct. 
This guy was wearing a pink Tommy Hilfiger shirt and tan Capri pants.
 He
wasn't gay, but he shoulda been. He said diesels were "stinky". I
 wanted to
poke him in his eyes, which were directly below his perfectly manicured
eyebrows.

I assumed it was a diesel. Something gave me the idea it may have
been 'jacked up', so maybe the idiot chipped it and expected to
pass emissions that way.

An properly applied opacity scale (there is one in the OM636-621 engine 
manual) can allow optimizing the of a mechanical injection system (such 
as 20th century Mercedes diesels) to withing a fraction of one percent 
that can be achieved with very carefully calibrated machinery. Not crude 
at all.

I've been surprised at how little visible smoke my 300D puts out in
daylight after tuning my ALDA.  Running B99 doesn't hurt, either.

Oregon doesn't have opacity tests---that seems like a pretty crude,
archaic way to tell if a vehicle is running right.  On gassers it's
mainly going to catch bad rings, right?  Which would be indicated by
high HCs in the exhaust anyway.

Bob,

Wind must have been blowing through the Emission Test Facility...

Or you got one really tuned diesel...
